Do you have always running VMs on your workstation? If yes, what’s running on them? (alien.top)

To clarify I am not asking about a dedicated machine running something like Proxmox or Esxi. My question is about VMs running on your daily use machine on something like VirtualBox, VM ware fusion, parallels etc

That's cool. What OS are you running on the VM? How do you access these services, only from your workstation or across the home network? Is the machine always on so that you can access your media/PiHole?

    I'm running VMwares ESXi on an dedicated Fujitsu Primergy box (old hardware), it's on 24/7 in the cupboard under the stairs.

    Plex has it's own app on various devices, smartphone, console, etc.

    PFSense comes with the ability to setup a VPN connection, so I use that to connect to home when I want to watch stuff on the Plex Server. The Sonar/SabNZBd/CouchPotato is mostly a set and forget thing.

    ESXi is handy for whenever I want to try something out without busting up any existing VMs I have setup.
